The Future is Now for health insurance reform

How does everyone like being defined by the media? I find it rather reprehensible that I keep on seeing : "The American people want this, the American people don't want that, the American people don't like the health care plan!"

I really think the darker forces are in fighting so hard to stay in control, they keep on making this stuff up. The insurance companies don't want to be reigned in even though they make billions in profits! How much profit do you have to make before the original intent of what your business is all about shrivels up and dies?! The intent being to provide health care coverage to Americans.

I suspect they are just plain scared. But they better get over it. Because we elected a leader who will be tough for us. We have to do our part and communicate to our representatives forcefully, "you will be out of office if you don't deliver."

I bet if you asked any one person the following questions they would know at least one person, family or friend, who fit the description:

1. Inability to pay for coverage.

2. Preexisting condition.

3. Billing problems and/or unwillingness to listen to customer.

4. Can't carry insurance to next job.

5. Can't carry insurance to new home in other state.

6. Won't cover certain claims.

7. Takes a really long time to process your claim.

8. Won't pay because you didn't ask for permission to go to that hospital when faced with an emergency.

9. Wonder why you were billed $30 for a box of bandaids.

10. Wonder why you had to take three tests that all said the same thing and were charged for each one.

Insurance companies get it together. It is seeming like this is the era for Vampire Capitalism, as Dylan Rattigan calls it, to come to an end. Maybe kicking and screaming, but it is ending. How much do you want to salvage your companies from total destruction by the coming rage of the American people. It's better to just chip off most of the bad stuff and settle for $4 billion profit instead of $30. Don't you think?
